SUMMARY:Sip Sense Create (Fall Harvest)
DESCRIPTION:Ground yourself in gratitude and reflection during Sip Sense Create’s Fall Harvest\, a seasonal experience honoring wisdom\, warmth\, and creative integration\, allowing you a short break after the holiday rush. Participants will engage with fall herbs\, exploring their sensory and symbolic qualities through mindful tasting and observation. \nLed by Erin Copeland of Ease Wellness\, the session includes the preparation of an herbal drink to share and reflect; emotionally\, visually\, or energetically. \nFrom there\, participants will transition into intuitive artmaking that captures what the herb inspires. No prior art or herbal experience is required. This is a guided\, sensory-rich experience where herbal tasting\, mindful presence\, and intuitive art come together\, making it a powerful autumn offering for reflection\, creative grounding\, and holistic self-care. \nThis class is ideal for those seeking a meaningful creative pause\, a deeper connection to nature and wellness\, or a restorative experience that nurtures both mind and creativity. \nReduce Stress\, Spark Inspiration\, and Explore a Holistic Approach to Self-Care Through Art.
